??? It does here.  The call is in backup-buffer: it calls rename-file.

Are you trying this in "emacs -Q"?  If not, perhaps you have some
customizations, like backup-by-copying or
backup-by-copying-when-mismatch etc.?

Again, is this in "emacs -Q"?  The backup file name is generated by
the function find-backup-file-name, you will find it in files.el.  It
is called by backup-buffer.  Please see what file names it produces in
this case.
